Mike Hall didn’t see the field much last season. That’s about to change.
Playing in just 35 snaps across four games as a true freshman, the 53rd-ranked high school recruit in the 2021 class took a redshirt year as he adjusted to the next level. Ahead of his second season in Columbus, it appears Hall has adjusted plenty.
Make no mistake, Hall won’t be thrust into increased playing time out of necessity. The opportunities he receives this season will be hard-earned, given the talent backed up in Larry Johnson’s defensive line room. But by all accounts, Hall looks primed to make the most of whatever chances he sees in 2022 as he continues to impress coaches and teammates during the preseason.
